The Remote FX feature for RDP is for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, correct? Meaning that if you aren't connecting to 2008 R2, SP1 that you won't get anything different.

I didn't know FX was for Server 2008 R2 only. Fortunately we use that at work. To bad it isn't in Windows 7 too.

The 16th is next Wednesday from today. Don't know if it will just be the SP1 by itself for a while at first on technet, or SP1 standalone and an integrated Windows 7 -SP1. Then again, this is just a rumor at this point. Don't think the date's been 100% absolutely confirmed yet? Confirmed.

It'll be nice not having to DL all the updates if you want to re-install. :)
